It's name isn't really Shayla. Since it was an event only Pokemon, I'm unable to change it's nickname. Shayla is simply what I would call it if I could change its nickname.
Name: Shaymin
Gender: Genderless
Level: 84
Nature: Bold
Moves:
Seed Flare
Aromatherapy
Hidden Power (Fire)
Rest
Hold Item: Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Although a genderless pokemon, I gave Shaymin a somewhat feminine figure. Why do you ask? Another piece of pokemon trivia: although most legendaries are genderless, they tend to commonly be associated with a particular gender, whether it be because of it's mannerisms, appearance, or it's "psychic voice" as many legendaries get in the Pokemon Movies. For example, it's commonly accepted that Mewtwo is considered male, and Mew female. Entei is male, as is Lugia and Ho-oh. Darkrai is male, while Cresselia is female. In Shaymin's case, although it's officially genderless, it's considered female by most.
To move on to more technical issues: I've started to take notice that the Jpegs are looking more washed out in color than they do in the photoshop document. It may have something to do with how I'm saving the files. If I can think of a way to improve the color intensity without sacrificing the quality, I'll be replacing the existing pokemorphs pictures with their higher intensity counterparts. Another thing, as you may have noticed, is that this image is significantly smaller than the others. It makes for better screen economy, plus it just makes the picture look cleaner all together.

the jpeg process actually allows setting compression ratios which controls the amount of loss. gifs are lossless, but sometimes do weird things that don't always come out so 'clean'. tifs and tgas seem be the best compromise but aren't supported everywhere.

Yes, but it's not the compression that causes these problems, as I try not to compress these files too much. In photoshop, there are two different formats for Jpegs, one of which is formatted to appear better online. That's the format I was using, but it also is the one that tends to wash the color out in comparison to what I see on screen when I'm working on it.
